Information

The very first Muse song on a commercial Muse record.

The version on the Muse EP differs from that which features on Showbiz, containing a slow bridge in the middle and additional lyrics, whilst omitting the last chorus.

The song was first played sometime prior to Soundwaves 1997, the recording from which is the first known performance of Overdue.

Lyrics

You needed it when I was away
And no matter what I say
You’ll never forget when I wasn’t there so
Why should I care? 
I’m young but I know that I’m aroused

You know that I care
You should have been there
You know that I care
You should have been there

It doesn’t matter where I have gone
I just can’t afford to
Pay for all the mistakes that you have made
It’s about time I was paid

I’m young but I know that I’m aroused

You know that I care
You should have been there
You know that I care
You should have been there

You know that I care
You should have been there
You know that I care
You should have been there

You know that I care
You should have been there
You know that I care
You should have been there

The Muse EP version of the song lacks the last chorus, is extended and features the extra lyrics:

You...

We really need to change it 
And turn it over

Cause you should have been there
When I was aroused
Cause you should have been there
When I was aroused

You know that I care
You should have been there
You know that I care
You should have been there

You know that I care
You should have been there
You know that I care
You should have been there

You know that I care
You should have been there
You know that I care
You should have been there
